Tropical Curry is a late-game dish of Coconut, Pineapple and Hot Pepper from Ginger Island. Gus sells the recipe at the bar of the island's Beach Resort. The curry gives the strongest Foraging buff of any dish, along with a good refill of energy and health. It also sells for more than its ingredients. Caroline and Gus both love it, which makes it a top gift for two villagers at once.
Recipe
The recipe is sold at the Beach Resort on Ginger Island. Willy's boat carries the farmer to the island. Once there, the parrots rebuild the Island Farmhouse for 20 Golden Walnuts. After that, another 20 Golden Walnuts repair the resort. Gus runs a bar at the resort, and the Tropical Curry recipe is part of his stock.
Cooking a Coconut with a Pineapple and a Hot Pepper makes Tropical Curry. The curry is cooked in the kitchen added by the first farmhouse upgrade, or on a Cookout Kit outside.
Coconuts lie on the sand in the Calico Desert, and the Oasis sells them on Mondays. On Ginger Island, shaking a Palm Tree drops one.
Pineapples come from Pineapple Seeds. The Island Trader on Ginger Island trades the seeds for a Magma Cap, a mushroom found in the Volcano Dungeon. Pineapple grows all year on the island farm and in Summer in the valley, and the plant keeps producing after its first harvest.
The Hot Pepper is a Summer crop, and Pierre's General Store sells Pepper Seeds in Summer. The island farm ignores the seasons, like the Greenhouse, so Hot Peppers and Pineapples can grow side by side there all year. With the palm trees close by, the whole curry can come from Ginger Island.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Tropical Curry raises Foraging by four levels for a few minutes. That beats every other foraging dish: Pancakes and Autumn's Bounty give two levels, and Survival Burger gives three.
The buff counts as real skill levels for berry bushes. Every four Foraging levels add one more berry to each Salmonberry or Blackberry bush. At Foraging level 8 or above, the curry lifts the skill to 12 or more, and each bush then gives four berries. A curry before the short berry seasons in Spring and Fall gathers noticeably more fruit.
The curry also restores a solid amount of energy and health, so it doubles as a good meal for a long day.
Only one food buff can be active at a time. Eating another dish with a buff replaces the Foraging bonus. Drinks use their own slot, so a Coffee or a Triple Shot Espresso can run alongside the curry.
Prices
Tropical Curry sells for more than its three ingredients would earn if sold raw. That holds even with the plainest ingredients. The Pineapple makes up most of the value. The margin over the raw crops is modest, so the curry is cooked mostly for its buff and as a gift.
Gifts
Caroline and Gus love Tropical Curry. Gus sells the recipe and loves the result, so the first curry cooked makes a fitting present for him. His birthday is in Summer, when Hot Peppers are fresh in the valley. Caroline's birthday falls in Winter. A gift on a birthday counts eight times as much as usual.
Abigail, Alex, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Emily, Evelyn, George, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent and the Wizard like it.
Krobus, Leo and Willy dislike it.
These villagers love receiving Tropical Curry as a gift.

Notes
At the Desert Festival, Leo sells Tropical Curry at his shop for 30 Calico Eggs. That is a way to get a plate before the recipe, and Leo himself dislikes it as a gift.
In tailoring, Tropical Curry in the Sewing Machine makes the Tropical Sunrise Shirt. The dye pots in Emily and Haley's house accept Tropical Curry as an orange dye.
